- Cook the tempeh: Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Crumble the tempeh into the pan and cook for a few minutes until lightly golden.
- Add the garlic, ginger and a pinch of salt and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the tamari, lime juice and coconut sugar. Stir well and cook for 6–7 minutes until the tempeh is caramelised and sticky.
- Prepare the dipping sauce: Whisk together the tamari, lime juice, maple syrup, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Add warm water gradually until you reach a pourable consistency.
- Assemble the rolls: Lightly soften two rice paper sheets and layer them together for extra structure. Place a square of nori in the centre, followed by: a spoonful of sushi rice, carrot, cucumber and spring onion, a portion of sticky tempeh. Drizzle a small amount of the sauce over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a spring roll shape.
- Coat and fry: Roll each spring roll in sesame seeds. Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the rolls, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides.
- Serve: Serve warm with the ginger tamari dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
•Using two layers of rice paper helps prevent tearing and creates a crispier finish. •Don’t overfill the rolls to keep them easy to seal and fry. •The tempeh should be sticky and caramelised, not wet. •Adjust the dipping sauce with more lime or water depending on your taste. •Best eaten fresh while the rice paper is crispy.
